Piss off Coulter & Limnbaugh- Vote McCain '08 & Boxing people in with labels

I remember when "W" was first running & again when he ran for reelection, many of the Streisand / Baldwin contingent said they would leave the U.S. were he to win. He won, they stayed, and conservatives lambasted them for it.

Well, now the shoe's on the other foot. I look forwards to Ann Coulter stumping for Hillary... I might even pay to see that!

The larger issue is... these people are becoming parodies of themselves. Politically, it seems like they have lost all higher neurological function, and are just acting on reflex.

Beyond even that... the way these folks are so obsessed with finding the "true conservative" I've been wondering about why Americans are so obsessed with false polarities and with giving everything a label, putting everyone in a box.

• This weekend is the superbowl, and the options are being a Giants or Patriots fan. There is no "I couldn't care less could you please stop yammering about it" option.
• They talk about red states and blue states, as if the inhabitants were two different species.
• Similarly in matters of gender, sexuality, and so on. Everyone must be one or the other, have a label, stay in their box. It seems as if our culture is more comfortable with clearly defined extremes than with anyone who would occupy the space between, or incorporate elements of both.

There's probably a lot more I could say on that, but I'm worn out. I woke up at 4:30 this morning so I could dig out the car and get Tess down for her weekly pain shot. (Got some great video in Edgewater and down at the lakeshore I'll be posting over at my multiply blog either tonight or tomorrow.)

Buenas noches!
